Key result
Infant case highlights rare Uhl's anomaly with unguarded tricuspid orifice and free regurgitation.
Why the study?
Uhl's anomaly is a rare cardiomyopathy characterized by absence of right ventricular myocardium and is rarely associated with other congenital malformations such as absent tricuspid valve.
Case Report (n=1)
Alerts clinicians to rare Uhl's anomaly in infants with severe TR; leaves open optimal management and prognosis.
Uhl's anomaly is characterized by absence of the myocardial layer of the right ventricle, with opposition of the endocardium and epicardium. It is rarely associated with other congenital malformation. Here, we reported the rare association of Uhl's anomaly with absent tricuspid valve in an infant.

Taksande et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Uhl's anomaly with absent tricuspid valve (n=1). A rare case of Uhl's anomaly associated with an unguarded tricuspid valve orifice and free tricuspid regurgitation was reported in a 2-month-old male infant.
